Dear Swetha,

Your comments on the meanings of the presence of moons on the fingers are interesting.  

Would you be able to expand on the rationale behind the meaning of yellow & red spots on the nails?    

Upon examination of the Moons on my own, may I augment your comments with the opinion that the moons might possibly be indicators of the circulatory system within different parts of the body.  Having periodically observed the moon sizes during rising in the morning and at different times during the day, they seem to slightly expand / contract accordingly.  

Further to the above, could the relative Moon strength / weakness have links to the nervous and perhaps bilious temperament of the individual - thus linked to brain function?  Read in conjunction with blue tinged nails, a defective Health line and Islanded Headline may perhaps be conducive to Moon deficiency.  The aforementioned perhaps would most apply to the most susceptible person type - Saturnian / Mercurian / Lunarian??    

Lastly, could these perhaps be linked to the Ayurvedic humours (Vata, Pita, Kapha)? points during the day.  

I hope the above stimulates some comment / debate.  Would greatly appreciate feedback.
